"Read with your mouth" (02:00). Until about 1550 people used to read aloud. Especially when there was no interpunction, like in Greek, Latin, hieroglyphs, demotic, cuneiform, et al. it was imperative to read aloud. So, although this phrase sounds silly in modern ears, it actually is an accurate description of how people used to read before interpunction was invented (blanks, spaces between paragraphs, alineas, dots, colons, etc.)

The Ancient Egyptians looked the exact same as East Africans they depicted themselves as Black East Africans for over 3000 years ,until the Greeks come in around the 4th century B.C , yet you always use the images of Asiatic people from Western Asia to represent the Ancient Egyptians which is false, so you start the video with a clear deception, which leads to a agenda of changing the race the Ancient Egyptians visually which you are pushing, so Anyone looking for the correct account of Ancient Egyptian history will be given the wrong information from your channel, shame on you

Wasn't Cleopatra really an Italian, Greek, or other nationality of European decent? If so, how did she get to the position of human God-like ruler of the entire Egyptian country and all the other lands they ruled? I'm sure you have already went over this in another episode. Please direct me to it or please do one of your videos on her origin and how she ended up being "ruler" of Egypt especially mostly all by herself

Alexander the great was Greek and conquered Egypt in 332 bc and eventually became pharoah. When he died in 323 bc one of his generals named Ptolemy gained power and became pharoah. Cleopatra vii is the pharoah we know was the last pharoah of egypt. She came to rule around 250years after Alexander by way of generational heritage. There were seven Cleopatra's before her as well as other women with other names. The pharoahs married into their own families to keep the royal line pure. Brothers and sisters, uncles and nieces, aunts and nephews etc married each other.

Solomon has little to do with Amenhotep iii. They lived around and over 400 years apart. Sure there are similarities in some senses of their reigns in things like politics and whatnot. But Amenhotep is a late bronze ruler, while Solomon is clearly iron age. Although a few debate earlier. Solomon did not control the Nile to the Euphrates. But the river/brook of egypt. Which is in reference to a closer wadi river in the northwestern peninsula. Which was the limit of the Israelite monarch's territory, even up to the Euphrates. Although Solomon's influence, like many long reigning influential rulers, extend far beyond (like Egypt to the west, sheba to the south, ect).

These are important questions. If the general Israelite record is not sufficient enough, there is matching welp archaeology and in general secondary historical sources that relay the same narrative.
